                                  THE COMPANY

     OccuSystems is the nation's largest physician practice management company
focusing on occupational healthcare. The Company currently manages the practices
of 189 physicians in the Company's 105 occupational healthcare centers located
in 27 markets in 14 states. OccuSystems provides the management, facilities,
administrative and technical support, case management and other ancillary
services necessary to establish and maintain a fully integrated network of
occupational healthcare providers. The Company believes that this network of
physicians and facilities combined with the Company's management expertise and
cost containment programs provide significant advantages to patients, employers,
physicians and payors in reducing the overall costs associated with occupational
healthcare. Since December 1, 1991, the Company has acquired the assets of 100
physician practices and developed 24 physician practices.

     The Company believes that the decisions made by primary care physicians are
a critical determinant of the total costs (including non-medical costs) of a
workers' compensation case. Because most occupational medicine at the primary
care level is provided on a non-dedicated basis by physicians as part of their
general medical practices, OccuSystems believes that an attractive opportunity
exists in organizing primary care physicians within a national network that
exclusively provides occupational healthcare services. By so doing, OccuSystems
believes that it can substantially reduce the costs associated with occupational
healthcare while maintaining the quality of care.

     The occupational healthcare market is extremely fragmented. Individual
physicians, small group practices, local practice management companies and
hospital-based programs have accounted for the majority of providers of
occupational healthcare services. The Company believes that, due to increasing
business and regulatory complexity, greater capital requirements and the
development of larger integrated networks such as the Company's, physicians are
seeking to affiliate with larger, professionally managed organizations.

     The Company's strategy is as follows:

     .   To continue to consolidate primary care physician practices
         specializing in occupational medicine to meet the needs of physicians
         seeking to affiliate with professionally managed organizations.

     .   To continue to develop clusters of occupational healthcare centers in
         new and existing geographic markets, through the acquisition and
         development of physician practices and the formation of strategic joint
         ventures, to serve employers, payors and employees more effectively and
         to leverage management resources.

     .   To develop and affiliate with vertically integrated networks of
         providers, including specialists and hospitals.

     .   To employ its information systems and its regulatory and practice
         management expertise to optimize the performance of its centers and
         enhance its affiliated physicians' efficiency in practicing
         occupational medicine.

     .   To implement its proprietary Active Injury/Illness Management
         ("AIM/SM/") program to manage the occupational injury and illness
         resolution process proactively from the moment of initial treatment to
         return to work.
         
     .   To market its services on a case rate (per diagnosis) and capitated
         (fixed fee per employee per month) basis to employers, insurers and
         managed care organizations.

                             PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

     The Offered Securities will be issued to the Selling Stockholders in
connection with the acquisition by the Company of the various businesses of the
Selling Stockholders in a series of separate transactions. The Offered
Securities may be sold from time to time directly by the Selling Stockholders.
The Offered Securities may also be sold by the Selling Stockholders in (a)
ordinary brokerage transactions and in transactions in which brokers solicit
purchasers, (b) sales to a broker or dealer as principal and resales by such
broker or dealer for its own account pursuant to this Prospectus or (c) in a
combination of such methods of sale, at market prices and other terms prevailing
at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at
negotiated prices. The Offered Securities may be sold on any national securities
exchange or automated interdealer quotation system on which shares of Common
Stock are then listed, through negotiated transactions or otherwise. Brokers,
dealers and agents who participate in the sale of the Offered Securities may
receive compensation in the form of underwriting discounts, concessions or
commissions from the Selling Stockholders and/or purchasers of the Offered
Securities for whom they may act as agent. The Selling Stockholders and any
brokers, dealers or agents that participate in the distribution of the Offered
Securities might be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the
Securities Act, and any profit on the sale of such Offered Securities and any
discounts, commissions or concessions received by any such brokers, dealers or
agents might be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the
Securities Act. At the time a particular offer of any of the Offered Securities
is made by the Selling Stockholders, to the extent required pursuant to the
Securities Act, a supplement to this Prospectus will be distributed which
describes the method of sale in greater detail. In addition, any Offered
Securities which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act
may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this Prospectus.

     Pursuant to the provisions of a Registration Rights Agreement entered into
between the Company and each of the Selling Stockholders, the Selling
Stockholders will pay their costs and expenses of selling the shares of Common
Stock offered hereunder, including commissions and discounts of underwriters,
brokers, dealers or agents, and the Company will pay the costs and expenses
incident to its registration and qualification of the Common Stock offered
hereby, including registration and filing fees. In addition the Company has
agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain liabilities,
including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

     The Selling Stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates
in transactions involving the sale of shares of Common Stock against certain
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

     There can be no assurance that the Selling Stockholders will sell any or
all of the shares of Common Stock offered by them hereunder.


                                USE OF PROCEEDS

     The Company will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the
Offered Securities by the Selling Stockholders.

ITEM 15.   INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

     Article Tenth of the Certificate of Incorporation of the registrant
provides that the registrant shall indemnify its officers and directors to the
maximum extent allowed by the Delaware General Corporation Law. Pursuant to
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the registrant generally
has the power to indemnify its present and former directors and officers against
expenses and liabilities incurred by them in connection with any suit to which
they are, or are threatened to be made, a party by reason of their serving in
those positions so long as they acted in good faith and in a manner they
reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the
registrant, and with respect to any criminal action, so long as they had no
reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. With respect to suits by
or in the right of the registrant, however, indemnification is generally limited
to attorneys' fees and other expenses and is not available if the person is
adjudged to be liable to the registrant, unless the court determines that
indemnification is appropriate. The statute expressly provides that the power to
indemnify authorized thereby is not exclusive of any rights granted under any
bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.
The registrant also has the power to purchase and maintain insurance for its
directors and officers. Additionally, Article Tenth of the Certificate of
Incorporation provides that, in the event that an officer or director files suit
against the registrant seeking indemnification of liabilities or expenses
incurred, the burden will be on the registrant to prove that the indemnification
would not be permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law.

     The preceding discussion of the registrant's Certificate of Incorporation
and Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law is not intended to be
exhaustive and is qualified in its entirety by the Certificate of Incorporation
and Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

     The registrant has entered into indemnity agreements with the registrant's
directors and officers.  Pursuant to such agreements, the registrant will, to
the extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify such persons against all
expenses, judgments, fines and penalties incurred in connection with the defense
or settlement of any actions brought against them by reason of the fact that
they were directors or officers of the registrant or assumed certain
responsibilities at the direction of the registrant.

ITEM 17.   UNDERTAKINGS

     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

     (1)   To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

     (i)   To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;

     (ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement;
and

     (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any
material change to such information in the registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to
section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

     (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

     (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.

     (4) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant
to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is
incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

                                January 7, 1997


OccuSystems, Inc.
3010 LBJ Freeway, Suite 400
Dallas, Texas 75234

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     I have acted as counsel for OccuSystems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the 
"Company"), in connection with the Company's registration under the Securities 
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), of the offer and sale of 133,644 shares of 
common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Shares"), of the Company pursuant 
to the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed with the Securities 
and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on January 7, 1997 (the "Registration
Statement").

     In reaching the opinions set forth herein, I have examined and am familiar 
with originals or copies, certified or otherwise, of such documents and records 
of the Company and such statutes, regulations, and other instructions as I have 
deemed necessary or advisable for purposes of this opinion, including (i) the 
Registration Statement, (ii) the Amended and Restated Certificate of 
Incorporation of the Company, as filed with the Secretary of State of the State
of Delaware, and (iii) the By-Laws of the Company.

     I have assumed that (i) all information contained in all documents reviewed
by me is true, correct, and complete, (ii) all signatures on all documents
reviewed by me are genuine, (iii) all documents submitted to me as originals are
true and complete, (iv) all documents submitted to me as copies are true and 
complete copies of the originals thereof, and (v) all persons executing and 
delivering originals or copies of documents examined by me were competent to 
execute and deliver such documents.  In addition, I have assumed that (i) the 
Shares that have yet to be issued will be issued in accordance with an 
acquisition agreement in the form previously reviewed by me (the "Acquisition 
Agreement"), (ii) the full consideration for each Share that has yet to be
issued shall be paid to the Company and in no event shall be less than the par
value of such Share, and (iii) certificates evidencing the Shares that have yet
to be issued shall be properly executed and delivered by the Company in
accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL").

     Based on the foregoing and having due regard for the legal considerations I
deem relevant, I am of the opinion that the Shares that have been issued are 
validly issued by the Company, fully paid, and non-assessable and that the 
Shares that have yet to be issued, when issued in accordance with the
Acquisition Agreement, will be validly issued by the Company, fully paid, and
non-assessable.
<PAGE>
 
        This opinion is limited in all respects to the laws of the State of 
Texas, the DGCL, and the federal laws of the United States of America.  You 
should be aware that I am not admitted to the practice of law in the State of 
Delaware, and the opinion herein as to the DGCL is based upon the latest 
unofficial compilation thereof available to me.

        This opinion letter may be filed as any exhibit to the Registration 
Statement.  Consent is also given to the reference to me under the caption 
"Legal Matters" in the Registration Statement and in the Prospectus included in 
the Registration Statement, as having passed on the validity of the Shares.  In 
giving this consent, I do not thereby admit that I come within the category of 
persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and 
regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.


                                        Very truly yours,

                                        /s/ Richard A. Parr II

                                        Richard A. Parr II
